it's very small. 2-4 people max from what i've heard. brand new franchise spawned from piper's august 2020 acquisition of the valence group.
Know anything on culture and exits/laterals? Appreciate it
Bump
One of the strongest, if not the strongest group at piper in terms of exits/deal experience. Look at pipers website and the transaction list per sector and you’ll see what I mean. The chemicals group is always closing these multi billion dollar deals. Think they closed the biggest LBO in chemicals history ($12-13bn) and they just closed another one for like $5bn. I’m at another group in piper and we’ve worked a few times with em so I know their Creds well. Other groups at piper typically churn out 500m deals. Don’t think any bank in the middle market space actually does the size of deals that they do. I also know a few of their juniors just left to relatively reputable PE shops, so exits are solid as well. Would imagine it would be easy to get a strong MM/UMM exit with a couple 5bn deals on your resume… Also, don’t know what the above comment is saying but they are not 2-4 people max. Think they have like 30-35 people.
Agreed - heard it's all exclusively buy-side though?
Not true, the chemicals group does do a mix a buy side and sell side deals
Biggest LBO in chemicals (Carlyle / Nouryon) happened before Piper acq. of TVG. Strong team but would expect exodus from seniors soon once non competes expire.
This is extremely helpful - thank you. Excuse my greed, but do you have any idea about comp?
I can only speak to one data point and its skewed cause this was the booming year right after the pandemic, but I know an associate there who clocked in 600k total comp that year. Im sure in a regular year though, it should be in line with rest of Piper. Assuming you are asking about An1, should be 100k base, 60-90% bonus.
North America or London?
Bump if anyone else has insights curious to hear
